The fact is that very few Internet businesses that ask people to pay in order to view content have succeeded -- the list of those who have is made up of the Wall Street Journal online edition and a few porn sites. If HB tries that model I suspect he will soon find that one or more competing sites have come into existence that offer similar content free of charge. I hope that doesn't happen, as I value this site and would not like to see it disappear.

I totally agree with Lucky. The escorts are making money off of this site when they have good reviews. Check out the rising fees of the top escorts...through the roof ! This site has been a tremendous boom to some and as an occasional hirer of escorts is pricing some of us out of the market. Especially tjose of us who live in rural areas because those are the fly-ins and are always overnight. $1000.00 was o.k. but 2500.00 forget it. Several escorts have said that because of the reviews on this site their business has doubled or even tripled. Maybe the customers who hire regularly for 1 hour in the cities would be willing to pay a monthly fee , but those like myself who are rural and infrequent would just have to wing it by reading the free escorts web pages and make our decisions that way. I like this site and appreciate all of the hard work of Hooboy , but I think that those with the most to gain should help out financially and a 2500.00 a night escort should have the dough.:-)

Yeah, I sure can see that! HooBoy accepts money from an escort and then the fun starts. You think the Sean posts were over the top, wait for the conflict of interest posts. The shit would hit the fan in about three seconds.

I agree you aren't receiving money from this site, Lucky, but SAVING MONEY by getting more bang for your buck (pardon the pun) by using the reviews wisely before hiring an escort equals the same thing to me.

 

We should all show our gratitude to HooBoy for developing this site. Send 10% of the money we have all previously wasted on unsatisfactory escorts - make HooBoy a multi-millionaire!

I’ve been reading your posts with great interest.

 

First and foremost, I think it is important to keep this site free. However, there are some people who can afford to contribute to it and I do think those people should have some advantage and I’m weighing what that would be. My business plan is for the site to be advertiser supported; however the number of advertisers that will want to align themselves with this site is realistically miniscule.

 

I hope you keep submitting ideas that would be acceptable to you because I do want to ultimately do what you want. For instance, would $20 a year be acceptable?

 

While Tampa Yankee suggested I could become a millionaire, that is not my goal here, however I would like to be paid for my time and still have enough money left over for living expenses and research. Not only that, I think there are a lot of improvements I can do on the site.

"Twenty dollars a year sounds very reasonable to me. Even though I think the escorts should contribute as well, twenty dollars should hardly create a conflict of interest"

 

:-) And I also doubt the expense will take us to the poor house! Mind you, I speak for myself here, but I am sure most escorts would agree.

 

So Hoo, are you going to have a vote or what?

Twenty dollars a year sounds good and VERY reasonable !!!! Some escorts are linking to this site for the good reviews in their advertising , they should also pay something to belong. It should be fair to all and I think Hooboy has bent over backwards to be fair to all. Thank you Hooboy and Thank you to the clients who have sent in honest reviews without which we would have nothing here. :-)

While $20 would not be any problem at all for those who know and value this site--which would probably include all of us who post here at the Message Centre--it might be an issue for those who do not yet know the site, certainly its readership would grow more slowly.

It may sound unfair, but it seems to me that the diehards are all 'addicted' to the message centre, so in business terms it would make sense to charge an annual fee for that only and keep reading and posting reviews free of charge. Anyone here who would NOT pay $20 or even $50 a year?

Reg, I would, but I can see how many would not, you're right. I still think the subscription model for this site should not result in fewer reviews from fewer readers. How about this one then...

Reading the recent reviews as well as submitting reviews remains free of charge, but there's a $30 p.a. charge for searching and accessing reviews by region. My point being that Hoo needs to get money from "frequent hirers" without losing too much on the input side. Any thoughts?
